Overview of changes in Gtk2 1.230
=================================

* Wrap gtk+ 2.20 API in:  [Special thanks to Quentin Sculo]
  - Gtk2::Notebook
* Wrap gtk+ 2.18 API in:  [Special thanks to Quentin Sculo]
  - Gtk2::FileChooser
  - Gtk2::IconView
  - Gtk2::InfoBar
  - Gtk2::Label
  - Gtk2::Menu
  - Gtk2::Range
  - Gtk2::StatusIcon
  - Gtk2::Gdk::Cairo
  - Gtk2::Gdk::Region
  - Gtk2::Gdk::Window
* Wrap gtk+ 2.16 API in:  [Special thanks to Emmanuele Bassi and Quentin
  Sculo]
  - Gtk2::Action
  - Gtk2::Entry
  - Gtk2::Gdk::Keymap
  - Gtk2::IMContext
  - Gtk2::MenuItem, Gtk2::ImageMenuItem
  - Gtk2::Scale
  - Gtk2::Window
* Wrap gtk+ 2.14 API:
  - Gtk2::Adjustment  [Special thanks to Kevin Ryde]
  - Gtk2::Gdk::Event
  - Gtk2::Gdk::Screen
* Wrap gtk+ 2.12 API in Gtk2::Gdk::Window.
* Make Gtk2::FontButton->new and Gtk2::ColorButton->new more flexible:
  When called with an argument, turn new() into new_with_color() or
  new_with_font(), respectively.
* Accept format strings in Gtk2::MessageDialog->format_secondary_markup.
* Allow undef in a few places:
  - Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable->draw_pixbuf, draw_layout_with_colors,
    draw_layout_line_with_colors, draw_segments
  - Gtk2::Gdk::Window->invalidate_rect, set_icon_name,
    input_shape_combine_mask, shape_combine_mask,
    input_shape_combine_region, shape_combine_region
  - Gtk2::AccelLabel->set_accel_widget
  - Gtk2::Menu->set_screen
  - Gtk2::Widget->set_accel_path, shape_combine_mask
  - Gtk2::Window->set_default_icon_name
* In syntax check mode, do not call gtk_init.  gtk_init may abort the
  program (e.g. if DISPLAY is not set), so only call gtk_init_check even
  if asked to call gtk_init.
* Gtk2::Menu: trap exceptions in popup callbacks.  Uncaught exceptions
  in a popup callback can result in persistent mouse and keyboard grabs,
  locking the screen until the program is killed.
* Make Gtk2::ListStore->remove()'s return value consistent on gtk+ 2.0.
* Fix memory handling in Gtk2::RecentInfo->get_application_info.
* Improve the documentation in many places.  [Special thanks to Kevin
  Ryde]
* Fix some build and test failures.

The source code is available from the gtk2-perl project page on
sourceforge:

  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Gtk2-1.230.tar.gz

This module requires these other modules and libraries:

   perl >= 5.8.0
   Glib >= 1.230 (Perl module)
   Pango >= 1.220 (Perl module)
   GTK+ > 2.x (C library and prerequisites)

If GTK+ is as new or newer as 2.8, the Cairo module is also required:

  Cairo >= 1.00 (Perl module)

In order to build it from source, you'll also need

   ExtUtils::Depends >= 0.300
   ExtUtils::PkgConfig >= 1.030
   development headers for gtk+ and friends

Gtk2 is a Perl extension providing Perl bindings to the 2.x series of
the Gtk+ graphical user interface library.  This module allows you to
write graphical user interfaces in a perlish and object-oriented way,
freeing you from the casting and memory management in C, yet remaining
very close in spirit to original API.  Find out more about Gtk+ at
<http://www.gtk.org>, and about Gtk2-Perl at
<http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/>.
